I am amidst a little Facebook discussion with an old boss of mine. The question is:
"If you are walking a patient and they suddenly become dizzy/unable to stand and you assist them by lowering them to the floor is this classified as a fall?"
Thoughts?
I personally did not see it as a fall, but preventing a fall. However there are some saying certain states, work environments (SNF in particular) do view this as a fall because it was "unplanned".
